Family Literacy Support Toolbox

The purpose of the 3^rd Grade Commitment Family Toolbox is to provide families with the basic information necessary to better understand literacy in order to build upon the natural learning opportunities that occur within a child’s daily routine in the home and community. The resources contained in this toolbox provide encouragement and understanding to families and caregivers in supporting the early language and literacy development of children in their care.
